[FEATURE] Configurable 'Open in' context menu for files (e.g. Typora, Obsidian, VS Code)

Feature Request

The file context menu in Claude Code currently has a fixed Open in → Finder option. There's no way to add other apps.

Requested behavior

Allow users to configure additional Open in targets via settings.json, e.g.:

{
  "openWith": [
    { "label": "Typora", "app": "Typora" },
    { "label": "Obsidian", "app": "Obsidian" }
  ]
}

This would add them to the Open in → submenu alongside Finder.

Use case

Many Claude Code users work with Markdown files inside Obsidian vaults and edit them in Typora (or other external editors). Being able to right-click a .md file and choose Open in Typora or Open in Obsidian would remove a friction step (currently: Open in Finder → double-click).

Current workaround

Set the target app as the default opener for .md files in macOS, then Open in Finder → double-click. Works but costs an extra step.

Platform

macOS
